Rockridge

Piedmont Avenue is named after its major thoroughfare, which is known for its incredible locally owned businesses. Bubble tea stores, coffee shops, bars, vintage boutiques, and Michelin restaurants are just a few examples of businesses you’ll find along this well-known street. Catch a movie at Piedmont Theatre, Oakland’s longest running cinema, or grab ice cream at Fenton’s Creamery, a long-standing shop that was even featured in the Disney movie, “Up.“ For even more shopping and dining options, Downtown Oakland is just two miles south of Piedmont Avenue. Like many Oakland locales, Piedmont Avenue is laden in vibrant murals and is pedestrian friendly. The neighborhood has a strong sense of community, so events like block parties and barbecues are common. If you’re looking for a small-town feel in a big city, Piedmont Avenue has a variety of apartments, houses, and condos available for rent.
